I started watching this show called Unique Lady because it has Gong Jun and Fang Yilun in it. The basic plot is: A game-addicted modern woman gets sucked into a historical fantasy game in which she has to find true love in order to win.
In the first episode there's a marketplace scene where we're introduced to a fabulous queer-coded character that all the women love because he gives them fashion advice and tells them they're beautiful. Then this imposing, stern-looking guy (Gong Jun) steps out of a litter and the leading lady accidentally tears off his belt, and this is what happens next.
Our gay fashionista leaps into action, grabbing a scarf to use as a belt and fashioning an elaborate bow.
Meanwhile, our leading lady is watching like:
Gong Jun is going to be her man in the end, I think, because there's 3 seasons of this show and he has a main role in all of them but I hope there's more of this.

This little cutie is very carefully holding his treat in both hands!
The inspiration for this fig is Gong Jun's character Prince Zhong Wumei from Unique Lady I & II:
I like this BTS picture since it's showing off the sugar animals! I've never had a sugar stick animal before - they're enormous! They look cute and fun.
This fig had a bad habit of arriving broken in people's warehouses and homes. There were many cases where his neck broke clean off! When that happens I think it's either the fig engineering, where the delicate neck has too much pressure on it, or the fault of the packaging - there's not enough support for the fig. Or both!
My friend got her Wumei with the neck broken. The warehouse, for some strange reason, glued it back on. Unfortunately, they made a complete mess of the glue, so it arrived at my friend's house looking like a disaster. She had to reorder another fig. Which also arrived to the warehouse broken! She left very clear instructions this time to not glue the fig, so at least she finally got one.
Very luckily for me though, this little man arrived safely. I was actually quite concerned about the sugar stick pig - I mean, look at it! It looks so delicate. Sometimes I think it's a miracle that these figs arrive (generally) intact at all after traversing around China, taking the long trans-Pacific boat ride, and then suffering through our less-than-gentle package services here the US.
Aww he doesn't look very happy at all, even with his cute little treat! I have to admire his beautiful costume - the wonderful gold pattern detail, and the nicely done gold tassel on the waist ornament.
I know you can't see it in the inspiration picture, but apparently he usually wears his hair with this one long wispy piece of bangs off to the left side.
I say "apparently", because I've seen a lot of photos of Wumei, but I haven't yet gotten around to watching Unique Lady yet. I'd say I was going to watch it after I finally finished The Legend of Yunxi and then The Blooms at Ruyi Pavilion, but honestly we all know that instead of any of them, I'm just going to watch An Le Zhuan when it comes out instead (very shortly, I hope!).
This proud prince does not stand on his own at all. I propped him up against the back of my countertop to take the header picture, and then immediately put him on a stand. Since he's so prone to breakage, I didn't dare try to not secure him.
His feet are on the smaller size, so the fig stickers poke out a bit. You can't really tell in real life, but of course with the camera it just pops right out.
No side wisp of hair here!
I like the arrow pattern on his guan. We also get a nice shot of the gold pattern on his right lapel, as well as another good look at the sugar pig.
Huh. I think I actually see a very thin hairline crack there on his right (our left) temple. I definitely had not seen that on the fig. Maybe we can see it better when we get to the top down angle.
His little shoes are so cute! Boots, I guess, not shoes. I wish all fig makers would make feet a little bit wider than the common fig sticker size for easy sticking. The bigger the feet the better, honestly. It doesn't make them any less cute, it just makes them more stable!
You can't really see his black pants under his robes because of the shadows, but they're there, tucked into his boots.
Oh jeez, it really is a big crack. Oh no! My Wumei did not escape unscathed after all. Wow, there really was issues with something on this batch. I don't think that's fixable...at least by me, with my rudimentary abilities. That's OK. I didn't notice it until now, so it's not actually as bad as it looks.
Interestingly, another thing I just noticed is that his hair is purposely not symmetrical. Because he has the single side bang, his hair is pulled back into his topknot differently on either side. What a great detail!
Ah yes, we can even see here on our right side how his hair is pulled up differently. Very nice!
